Eight months can change everything. Since John Sitilides last addressed the IDN Summit audience, the geopolitical and economic landscape has continued to shift in ways that carry direct implications for the healthcare supply chain. As global trade dynamics, tariff policies, and international conflicts evolve, their impact on healthcare spend, drug sourcing, medical device availability, and the broader cost of delivering patient care does as well. John returns to dive even deeper on the geo-economic decisions impacting healthcare delivery.
